ON NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN BUTTERFLIES. 383 



This is apparently somewhat variable. My solitary female specimen 

 from central Java, 1,500 feet, captured by Herr H. Fruhstorfer, has 

 the white area on both sides of the hindwing more extensive than in 

 the typical female example from Singapore figured by Distant. My 

 single male from Burma and two from Java also differ slightly in the 

 extent of the white area, the Javan specimens having it the most 

 extensive of all.
